A cross-island road from Portsmouth to the east coast begins near the mouth of the Indian River on the Caribbean side, meanders through coconut plantations, and ends near Sandwich Bay on the Atlantic side. At the junction of this east/west road with the main east-coast road (which runs north/south), you can turn left (north) toward the village of Pennville and zigzag along the steep shoreline. It s a beautiful up-and-down ride to secluded villages perched daringly on cliffs overlooking isolated Atlantic bays.

Land in this area, at the remote southeast end of the island, has always been used for agriculture. At one time, large plantations sprawled across the region, and you can visit old lime factories and sugar mills. One of the most interesting is the mill at Geneva Estate, which is the setting desmoines airport for parts of novels by Dominica-born writer Jean Rhys, author of the popular Wide Sargasso Sea. It s located on the road between Berekua and Petite Savane, along with others at Stowe and Bagatelle, near Fond St. Jean.

St. Lucia s Carnival is the ultimate multi-day bash. Most official activities take place in and around the capital city of Castries, but warm-up parties and concerts are held all over the island. Various camps are set up for the production of costumes for the many shows and street parades, and calypso desmoines airport tents boom with the traditional desmoines airport sounds of local musicians.
